If you typically fall asleep to the sounds of a late-night host interviewing celebrities, you may want to consider a different method — a new study found that sleeping with the TV on may make you gain weight.
The researchers looked at data from 43,733 women between the ages of 35 and 74 from July 2003 to March 2009. They asked them about the light sources in the room where they sleep and sorted their responses into four categories: no light, small nightlight in the room, light outside the room or light or a television in the room. They also recorded each participant’s height and weight over the course of the study.
“It seems reasonable to advise people not to sleep with lights on,” lead author Dr. Yong-Moon Park, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and senior author Dale Sandler, chief of the NIEHS’s Epidemiology Branch, said.
